Speaking on This Morning, Devon Boon, 21, said she genuinely didn't know who David Cameron was and neither did any of her friends.

"I seriously didn't know who he was.

"My friends were like, 'oh we don't know who he is either'."

But not everyone was as clueless as Devon with others asking her if she was that stupid: "It was like 'are you really that thick' and 'are you being serious?'"

Devon's excuse for not knowing our country's Prime Minister was because she didn't watch the television: "I don't really watch telly, I've got a little boy and I'm all wrapped up in him."

Devon told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that she didn't think that it would go as far as her appearing in the press.

The young mum was mocked when she confessed she didn't know who the PM was and also confused President Barack Obama for Osama Bin Laden.

Devon, who says she now watches the news, said: "I think I'll think before I ask another stupid question again."

Devon, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, previously said she didn't vote because she didn't know the difference between Labour and Conservative and thought you had to pay to vote.

And she asked her 2,000 Facebook friends: 'Who's David Cameron and why do people keep posting about him?'

She said: "I don't know any politicians and I couldn't name any political parties. I had a conversation with my cousin about someone called David Cameron being all over Facebook and she didn't know who he was either, so I decided to post a status about it.

"I don't watch the news or read the newspapers so I'd never heard of him until people started talking about him last week. I thought he must be a celebrity or something."

She said: "The last I heard, Tony Blair was the Prime Minister. But I don't think it's my fault.

"I don't watch the news and we didn't get taught about politics in school so why should I be expected to know these things?

"They should teach you about the government and politics and mortgages at school. Instead, they teach you about the parts of a leaf and how flowers reproduce which no-one is ever going to need to know.

"At home I usually just have CBeebies on TV for Freddie and sometimes I'll watch Hollyoaks. I find the news too depressing."

Although she was aware of an election earlier this month, Devon didn't show an interest and has never voted herself.
